Bad news?
Depends on how the Mario movie turns out.
Starring Matthew McConaughey as Link.
Jesse Eisenberg as Gannon.
Zendaya as Zelda
Depends- how would you feel about Link being voiced by Chris Hemsworth in his Austrailian accent?
Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse him!
Thank-you for not adding "princess" which would be assuming my royal expression.
I identify as a Duke, for future reference.
I didn't know I needed this.
Probably. While the Zelda games are generally always about Link going around getting 3 orbs/things representing the 3 powers of the Tri-Force, then the Master Sword, then 7 crystals in some dark/shadow world the title is "Legend of Zelda" so almost too low a hanging fruit for some Woke Left subversive would take as an invitation to make it all about Zelda while Link will be some goofy hwuite male who gets all the credit despite lucking into winning against whatever Big Bad is used, be that GanonChad or some nebulous concept like 'The Patriarchy'.
And shills will repeat the line of "It's the 'Legend of Zelda' not Link, bigot!".
Modern adaptations are trash and the ones making them continually fall upwards to ruin more and more franchises.
Or surround him with multiple women who are much more capable.
Gerudo cockblock harem incoming!
While dated OoT info there's also Zelda obviously, her bodyguard, the fish princess, Link's bff Saria, the 3 Fairies, and Malon the pony girl.
Can't have Link getting and romantic ideas so they shall all now be specifically lesbian and/or in a relationship with an "actual woman" who has a beard bigger than Brian Blessed. Or even simply is Brian Blessed.
And of course any actual scenes of intimacy must be kept modular enough they can be cut for international releases like happens with any new production because despite how "popular" such things are it's still verboten in China and money talks.
I am so tired of hearing this whenever so called Legend of Zelda fans are talking about the new game. its always the same thing.
"I want Zelda playable in her own game because I am a closeted tranny and playing as a female will get me off... I-I mean because zElDa ShOuLd Be PlAyAbLe In HER OWN GAME!!!! It IsNt CaLlEd ThE lEgEnD oF LiNk BiGoT REEEEEEEEEE!!!111!"
I mean, Illumination isn't that woke. They make shitty kids movies, like Disney used to before they went crazy.
I'm trying to remember their films, aren't they responsible for that animated anthropomorphic film Sing and the Despicable Me/Minions films?
Yes, they are. Which are very good (if very basic) kids movies, with no really unreasonable messages. There is a reason the newest Minions movie was one of the only movies to make more money than Top Gun in 2022.
So if Illumination is indeed working on an animated Legend of Zelda, I am...cautiously optimistic.
Since they aren't overly virtue signalling in their films, there might be the chance they are doing Zelda to show they can do more adultish animated films or just have kid friendly Zelda film so win either way.
Sing is absolutely chock full of wicked bullshit.
I hope not.
